Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

guide.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convect
Bake function and rack positions 2 and 5.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
